Apparently he was also smoking a cigar in the car, as he still hasn't given up smoking and drinking. I should make a proper list of every time this man has been hospitalised/"not long for this world"/had some else kind of tragedy, as it's impressive how he just somehow keeps on going --- https://www.seiska.fi/kotimaa/vesa-matti-loiri-onnettomuudessa-kuva-paljastaa-vauriot/1163756 V-M Loiri has been in some kind of an accident, didn't comment on it. Looks very great for someone who will be 77 in two months, especially considering his health history (check the post from August for it) I'm still convinced that he won't make it to 80, how are his organs even still working after 60 years of alcohol use and smoking (and all the other stuff he's used)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a comment on an old Times of India article from when he claimed to be 100 saying that he's actually 83, person who wrote the comment also mentions that "everyone in Beas Pind (village he was born in) knows this" If that's true, he's around 93-94 currently. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So let's introduce our real king... King Bob I! King Bob survived everything during the last ten years, he practically lives at Walter Reed and is giving stage IV lung cancer a very hard time. Long Live the King! Surely Leslie Phillips dethrones him now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,946 Posted December 5, 2021 Bob Dole (1923-2021) Bob Dole does not like this! (Bob Dole) Only king in Murica is Burger King (Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh upon receiving the news) Age at death: 98 Known health issues: Bob was a living miracle. He died at least 10 times and every single time he recovered in barely two weeks. Gravely wounded during WW2, prostate cancer, abdominal aortic aneurysm in 2001, cerebral hemorrhage in 2004, hospitalised in 2009, 2010 (pneumonia and knee surgery), 2011 (infection), 2012 for months. Again back to Walter Reed with fidelity card in 2017. Finally got diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer in February 2021. Who would have said it, he looked so healthy! After 5 months of tough battle, the cancer died. But then it came back and killed Bob. Prematurely. Cause of death: Overdose of Vi@gra Lung cancer. Alignment: Bob Dole was a good guy, says Bob Dole. Bob Dole didn't support Trump, the cunt was holding Bob Dole's family in hostage. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,946 Posted December 5, 2021 THE KING IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE KING! So King Bob has died for real. About 77 years after his time. The kingdom is in mourning, but a new king has to be sworn in. So finally it is... V-MAR Ri Yong-mu! Wait, I already did this joke. Come on, Kim, you'll admit this guy is boring as hell. It has to be someone else. Leslie Phillips? Tin Oo? Thich Nhat Hanh, who has been waiting for the last 80 years? Ehmmm, no. It is none other than.... KING JIMMY I!!! Having survived everything from advanced cancer to serious falls to cerebral hemorrhages to urinary tract infections, Jimmy is our new Democrat king! Come on, Jimmy, build that Macon mausoleum!

Dying years ago, hospitalised last December in bad shape but still somehow going. Bedridden for a while but apparently not currently as of November 2021. Picture of Baddiel from yesterday. He can't recognize his children anymore but apparently can still talk.

(Every Libyan on Mustaf Ben Halim) We just lost our best customer (McDonald's on Mustafa Ben Halim's demise) Age at death: 100 Known health issues: Overweight for most of his life, bedridden and unresponsive in recent years, falsely announced dead in February 2021. Cause of death: Natural causes. Alignment: Spent most of his life plotting against Gaddafi and finally succedeed in 2011.

Alzheimer's since 2006, some reports say that it started to affect her badly in 2011 and still not dead. Couldn't recognize any of her family members in 2019, can't speak, bedridden and her family doesn't have money for her treatment. https://www.starhit.ru/novosti/syin-margarityi-terehovoy-mama-mechtala-o-vnuchke-jal-chto-ya-zatyanul-eto-takaya-bol-261049/ Margarita Terekhova can't communicate anymore, apparently at all.

NO RANDOM FINNISH PEOPLE, please Finland doesn't have other people worthy of the "immortal" title than Loiri and Alenius. Maybe Syrjä who I mentioned a while ago. But I do have some more suggestions: Blue: On Drol's list now. Green: Alive, current Immortal Candidate. Red: Dead Immortal Candidate 1. Nguyễn Côn. As you said a couple of months ago, How The Fuck is this guy still alive? Bob Dole+ of Vietnam. 2. Jerry Lee Lewis: Drug, tobacco, alcohol use, major stroke in 2019 and probably bedbound at this point. No idea how he's still alive at 86, logically should've died 25+ years ago with that lifestyle. He looked as pale as a corpse 35 years ago! Also the last of a lot of things including the last Million Dollar Quartet member for over 18 years and the last of the 11 inaugural Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. 3. Bob Barker. Stroke in 1991, blocked left carotid artery in 1999, stroke and prostate surgery in 2002, multiple bouts of skin cancer, falls in 2015 and 2017. Has been wheeled around for years while looking ultra frail: 4. Muhammad Rafiq Tarar. Very frail. 5. Sidney Cooke, strokes and heart attacks. "How is he still going" name for over a decade now. 6. Jean-Louis Trintignant has been suffering from prostate cancer for a long time, looks frail but he's a "time never comes" type of person. 7. King Salman of Saudi Arabia, spinal surgery + stroke in 2010, suffering from Alzheimer's for years. Gallbladder surgery in 2020, hospitalised in March and May 2022. 8. Doyle Brunson has beaten cancer four times, has been involved in various accidents and was recently hospitalised with pneumonia. Doesn't really look great but still sharp 9. Cesar Virata was intubated with covid, had a stroke and pneumonia last year and reappeared this year looking great. 10. Charles Njonjo (1920-2022)? Died 2nd of January 2022 at 101, first blood from this list. 11. Tony Marshall (1938-2023) has had a stroke and suffers from end-stage kidney failure and was in ICU with covid two months ago. Was vaccinated, it probably helped him survive it. 12. Vietnam guy #2 politician Đặng Văn Thân (1932-2023) had a stroke years ago and has looked dead since. 13. Jamshid bin Abdullah of Zanzibar moved to Oman to spend his last days there. That was in September 2020. 14 & 15. Yuri Averbakh (1922-2022) is the oldest chess GM ever and despite having suffered from old-age issues for years, seems like he'll make it to 100 in February. Died on the 7th of May 2022 aged 100. Boris Spassky suffered a mild stroke in 2006 and a massive one in 2010. Still going. 16. Khaleda Zia is suffering a ton of diseases, some made up by the Bangladesh press, some not and has been in and out of hospital for years, hospitalised atleast three times this year for over 120 days. Now suffering from cirrhosis and has (again) been in hospital for over a month. Dishonourable discharge 17. Nguyễn Văn Cốc, Vietnam guy #3 and the top-scoring fighter ace of the Vietnam War retired in 2002 due to declining health. Looks like a corpse: Later additions 1: 18. Mwai Kibaki looks ancient, very large nonagenarian and frequently hospitalised. 19. James Watson has looked like a decomposing corpse for years. 20 & 21. Harrison Ruffin Tyler and Larry Holley (1925-2022) are pretty much FOTF of long-gone famous people, especially Holley, but both have interesting health histories. John Tyler's grandson is 93, has suffered a series of strokes since 2012 and has dementia, Buddy Holly's oldest brother is 96, suffering from congestive heart failure and was recently in hospital in very bad condition with pneumonia. Larry Holley died on the 7th of April 2022 aged 96. Later additions 2: 22. Josef Fritzl, suffering from dementia, "rapidly declining" nearly three years ago, how the fuck is he still alive? One forum user said in 2015 that he "can't last forever in prison" but he's still there and alive. 23 & 24. Dr. NakaMats/Yoshiro Nakamatsu and Tomiichi Murayama are indestructible. Nakamatsu, who claimed he invented the floppy disk, suffered from terminal prostate cancer seven years ago and wasn't expected to live past the end of 2015. Murayama, Japanese Prime Minister during the Tokyo subway sarin gas attack known for his apology of Japan's WWII actions will soon be 98, can still stand straight and has looked the same for over 25 years. 25. Lata Mangeshkar. Adding her as the last one on this list, not Dilip Kumar but probably the third-strongest immortal Bollywood has produced after King Dilip and Chandrashekhar. In poor health since her 80s, in ICU with respiratory failure and pneumonia in 2019, deathrace pick during three different years, on the crowdsourced DL in 2020. Leiji Matsumoto (1938-2023) has also been mentioned as an immortal in 2019 for being on life support with a breathing tube after a stroke in 2019. Still breathing. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
